2/ TL;DR
2/ TL;DR. Mohammad Hosseini, Serge Horbach, @kristiholmes.bsky.social and I explore GenAI's enormous potential to enhance accessibility and efficiency in science. But we emphasise that to do so, GenAI must bespeak Open Science principles of openness, fairness, and transparency.

1/ 🚨 NEW PAPER! “Open Science at the Generative AI Turn”
In a new study just published in Quantitative Science Studies, we explore how GenAI both enables and challenges Open Science, and why GenAI will benefit from adopting Open Science values. 🧵

Screenshot of paper "Open Science at the generative AI turn: An exploratory analysis of challenges and opportunities" by Mohammad Hosseini, Serge P. J. M. Horbach, Kristi Holmes and Tony Ross-Hellauer Crossmark: Check for Updates Author and Article Information Quantitative Science Studies 1–24. https://doi.org/10.1162/qss_a_00337 Abstract Technology influences Open Science (OS) practices, because conducting science in transparent, accessible, and participatory ways requires tools and platforms for collaboration and sharing results. Due to this relationship, the characteristics of the employed technologies directly impact OS objectives. Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) is increasingly used by researchers for tasks such as text refining, code generation/editing, reviewing literature, and data curation/analysis. Nevertheless, concerns about openness, transparency, and bias suggest that GenAI may benefit from greater engagement with OS. GenAI promises substantial efficiency gains but is currently fraught with limitations that could negatively impact core OS values, such as fairness, transparency, and integrity, and may harm various social actors. In this paper, we explore the possible positive and negative impacts of GenAI on OS. We use the taxonomy within the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science to systematically explore the intersection of GenAI and OS. We conclude that using GenAI could advance key OS objectives by broadening meaningful access to knowledge, enabling efficient use of infrastructure, improving engagement of societal actors, and enhancing dialogue among knowledge systems. However, due to GenAI’s limitations, it could also compromise the integrity, equity, reproducibility, and reliability of research. Hence, sufficient checks, validation, and critical assessments are essential when incorporating GenAI into research workflows.

The LSE Impact Blog covering our recent scoping review on evidence regarding the uptake, attitudes and efficacy of Open Peer Review.

Conclusion: many persistent and crucial questions remain poorly explored. We suggest ways to move forward and invite collaboration!

New preprint on the societal impact of Open Science!

As part of the PathOS project, we have scoped the academic, societal and economic impacts of Open Science. The first of three upcoming preprints (each covering one theme) is now available!
